Extractions: Sharing stories is a part of everyone's daily life. Through the listening to and telling and retelling of events, real or unreal, we build and reinforce communities and traditional knowledge. In every group, individuals are recognized for their special skills in telling stories and jokes, such as language, timing, and body language. Their artistry often distinguishes them as "talkers and tellers." At the Great Lakes Folk Festival, Talkers and Tellers programs are scheduled primarily on the Abbott Road Stage and in the special programming area "Passing on Traditions." The traditions of Michigan's cultures and regions are reinforced through The Michigan Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program. With support from this program, master artists teach their traditions to apprentices, thereby reinforcing traditions and assuring a legacy for future generations. At the 2003 Great Lakes Folk Festival, master artists and their apprentices talked about their lives and the role and importance of traditions in their communities and demonstrated their traditions.

Information For Engineers & Engineering Students engineers and WGBH Boston to teach middleschool engineering principles through hands-onactivities and by said Peter Schkeeper, a professional engineer in Red http://www.eweek.org/site/Engineers/zoompress.shtml
Extractions: COMBINE FORCES TO TEACH ENGINEERING CONCEPTS Seminar Photos » Tell a six-year-old that elasticity relies on a key principle of engineering and expect eyes to glaze over. Let that child make a mini-bungee jump by putting an egg in the toe of a nylon stocking to test how far it can drop before it splatters, however, and consider it a lesson in engineering learned. ZOOM , the daily PBS television series and Web site produced by WGBH Boston, the program will teach children the essence of engineering through hands-on experiments, such as the bungee egg and other fun activities. To kick off the program, National Engineers Week 2002 co-chairs the American Society of Civil Engineers and DuPont hosted a training seminar to hone the teaching skills of engineers on October 15 at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. Led by WGBH educational staff, the seminar brought together more than 80 volunteer engineers from 24 states. The meeting was the first step in creating ZOOM INTO ENGINEERING workshops and events nationwide to reach kids with the message of what engineers do every day solve problems using science and technology. The "train-the-trainer" seminar participants will now fan out across the country to train other engineers to teach the program.

Extractions: I am a Research Engineer. I participate in the development of new life support and space suit technologies to support NASA's current missions to an extent, but primarily future missions. It is heavily related to math and science. To name a few specifics, mechanical design, physiology, thermal analysis, differential equations, and computer programming play a significant role in my job. There are many enjoyable aspects about my duties at NASA. The work involves both engineering AND biology, which is a good mix for someone who had strong inclinations to become a medical doctor. In fact, some of our technologies have been adapted for medical use. We're always looking for dual-use technologies, and it just so happens that space life support technologies can be akin to medical life support technologies. Also, there is a direct link with the astronaut office, since they are the eventual users of our products. I get a firsthand account of what spaceflight is like. Lastly, we get to do some real FUN sorts of testing: underwater neutral buoyancy testing (SCUBA), and KC-135 zero-gravity testing. I have an undergraduate degree in bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania, and a master's in mechanical engineering from Stanford. I don't recall ever being directed away from taking math or science classes in favor of more liberal arts type classes. However, I was considered at a young age to have some artistic talent, and the details of that course of education were outlined to me. Although I excelled in math, physical sciences, and biological sciences, neither pursuit was favored by the adults who influenced my life. The practical (monetary compensation) aspects of a scientific/engineering career was noted, as compared to a career in the arts.
:: NASA Quest > Women Of NASA :: I m a Computer engineer. Our project team is is developing a set of collaborativetools to support the dayto-day activities of distributed science teams. http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/women/bios/kh.html
Extractions: I'm a Computer Engineer. I work in the Computational Sciences Division of the Information Sciences and Technology Directorate at NASA/Ames Research Center. I perform system engineering tasks and develop software applications. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to work on projects where I can learn about state-of-the-art technologies. Currently I am working on a new project called ScienceDesk. Our project team is is developing a set of collaborative tools to support the day-to-day activities of distributed science teams. These activities include preparing data, conducting remote experiments, managing data and information resources, and tracking scientific progress. We're developing software prototypes for remote access and control of scientific instruments, a project respository for storage of documents, data, notes, and images, and a web-based interface for accessing these components. One interesting project I worked on in the past, was the Wireless Network Experiment (WNE). It was performed on both the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Russian Mir Space Station in March 1996 during the STS-76 mission. Using three computers, astronauts operated the first wirlesss local area network in space. The WNE was designed to evaluate electomagnetic compatibility, computer performance, wireless network performance and human factors issues. This experiment is part of a larger program to provide a reliable, flexible network infrastructure for the International Space Station (ISS) that will support astronauts in performing experiments and other tasks aboard the ISS.

Extractions: This Week's Current The Classroom Flyer Today's Flyer Flyer by E-mail About Brenda Barron Article Archives Life Science Biology Environment Space ... Sports April 25, 2001 The Art Angle Mosaic Answers Paintings and sculptures can provide amazing illustrations of mathematics in action. That's the message students and teachers are getting from an innovative program at the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA). Where can you find the math connections at the BMA? Mosaics get their beauty from an arrangement of small chips and tiles that form a larger picture or design. How many tiles do you think there are in the mosaic picture to the right? Leven likes to show the students a mosaic floor from the ancient city of Antioch. "I say that we're trying to figure out how long it takes to make this floor and how much it could cost to have made it," Leven explains. Getting to the answers involves dividing the sprawling mosaic floor into equal, small rectangles or squares and then sampling the number of tiles in one of them. Using that number, the students estimate the number of tiles in the entire floor. Leven then asks students to think of how many tiles an artisan could set in an average hour, to figure out the number of hours needed to complete the job, and to calculate how much the job would cost at today's hourly wages.

Extractions: Professional Development Support Center Quality training doesn't just happen. It takes the coordinated efforts of instructors, course managers, subject matter experts, proponents, and administrative staff. The educators at the Professional Development Support Center (PDSC) work closely with their faculty of instructors and subject matter experts to form a project delivery team that employs a proven systematic process for developing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Proponent Sponsored Training (PROSPECT). We call this process the Corps of Engineers Systems Approach to Training (COESAT). The procedures followed in COESAT closely align with the business process model Initiate, Plan, Execute/Control, Close-Out. Divided into five closely related steps, the life cycle of a course of instruction is determined through analysis of the training need (Initiate), design of the needed intervention to include mode of delivery (Plan), development of the instructional materials (Plan), implementation of the course of instruction (Execute/Control), and evaluation of the effectiveness (Close-Out). Ensuring training meets the needs of the intended audience is a function of the analysis and design phases of COESAT. Specific learning objectives are written that guide course content and testing. Writing clear learning objectives will answer the question, "What will the learners be able to do when they finish the training program? Objectives prescribe the behavior (Action), conditions, and standard for performance of the task being trained.
